Lavender's Blue

Lavender's blue, dilly dilly,
Lavender's green
When you are King, dilly dilly,
I shall be Queen

Who told you so, dilly dilly,
Who told you so?
'Twas my own heart, dilly dilly,
That told me so

Call up your friends, dilly, dilly
Set them to work
Some to the plough, dilly dilly,
Some to the fork

Some to the hay, dilly dilly,
Some to thresh corn
Whilst you and I, dilly dilly,
Keep ourselves warm

Lavender's blue, dilly dilly,
Lavender's green
When you are King, dilly dilly,
I shall be Queen

Who told you so, dilly dilly,
Who told you so?
'Twas my own heart, dilly dilly,
That told me so.

Song of the wind

I listen to the song of the wind it has no name

I listen to the song of the wind it has no words

I listen to the song of the wind that I can see

The wind is real, the wind is real

I listen to the song of the sky it has no name

I listen to the song of the sky it has no words

I listen to the song of the sky that I can see

The sky is real, the sky is real

I listen to the song of the moon it has no name

I listen to the song of the moon it has no words

I listen to the song of the moon that I can see

The moon is real, the moon is real

And I am free...

May the kindness

Song by Jackie Oates & Dave Wood

May the kindness, that starts with you
Turn full circle, when it's due
And the flame, that burns your heart
Burn with love, and hold us now we part

'Cause true beauty grows with time
There's no need to hide the light
'Cause true glances reciprocate
Now is the moment worth a life times wait

With a gentle healing touch
Untwist this mind that one promised so much
With simplicity once more new
Recognise a place in worth-while things to do

And those we touch that we call friends
Feel the spirit that transcends
They steer through seasons to warden ends
Taming so sweet, so satisfied an end

So live each day as it's your last
How sweet the smile, it comes on fast
Seldom first, more the less
Holding back for those with heavy tasks

So share a moment, hold a hand
Wipe the tears, understand
Life is borrowed we contour
Speed and light and bring your spirit home

May the kindness, that starts with you
Turn full circle, when it's due
And the flame, that burns your heart
Burn with love, and hold us now we part
